Meng Suqin could be said to have always been a prominent figure in the family compound. Gu Tingzhi's return was also highly anticipated. At the very least, they had just gotten married, and the wedding was a very lively affair. Very few people didn't know Meng Suqin.
The Li family, who lived right in front of her house, couldn't possibly not know.
Since you know that, you should also know Meng Fuyan's economic strength.
Commander Lu's daughter, Meng Suqin's daughter, would such a person lack money?
Buy some fish, shrimp, and pork ribs, and they rush over to lecture you?
Are you out of your mind?
The daughter of my immediate superior married the most promising young talent in the military region. Instead of currying favor with such a person, I'm actually going out of my way to offend him.
This is definitely not normal.
"You two didn't fight or argue at the time, but later the girl from the Li family still came to you crying and begging for forgiveness?"
"Really? She was very insistent that you open the door?"
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Yes! I was scolded for no reason and felt confused, but since the other party was an elder, I didn't want to argue with her, so I just took my younger brother and the nanny home. I didn't argue or make a fuss. There were many aunties present at the time. You uncles can go and ask them."
“It wasn’t a big deal to begin with, but I was taking a nap at home in the afternoon when I was woken up by the sound of banging on the door and her crying. She insisted that I open the door, saying that she wanted to come in and apologize to me and beg for my forgiveness. She was practically kneeling down and kowtowing to me. I really can’t understand what she wants.”
"I'm not worth her scheming against. After thinking it over, it's either my dad or Tingzhi."
That's for sure.
Meng Fuyan was just an ordinary girl with no position in the army and no job. Her most valuable asset was probably her relationship with Lu Guozhong and Gu Tingzhi.
One of these two has been in the military for many years and holds a high position, while the other is a promising newcomer being groomed by his superiors. Dealing with these two is too difficult, but if we start with Meng Fuyan, it will be much easier.
"This needs to be thoroughly investigated; this is far too unusual."
"Yes, we must find out the truth. The Li family has never shown their face before, so there's no reason for them to suddenly appear now. There must be a reason."
"The Li family has so many members, and we've never heard of them causing any earth-shattering conflicts before. This time, something seems off, and we should investigate them thoroughly."
Lu Guozhong made the decision, "Then let someone investigate thoroughly."
He said to Meng Fuyan, "Don't be afraid, Dad will handle this. You go home and stay there. If you don't want to see them, then come back to our house. I don't believe they would dare to cause trouble at the Lu family."
Having achieved her goal, Meng Fuyan strolled home leisurely.
She went straight to her parents' house, back to her room before she got married, and continued taking her afternoon nap.
At this moment, the Li family panicked.
They never expected that Meng Fuyan would make such a big fuss in such a short time, going directly to Lu Guozhong to complain. How could a little girl complain about something like this? Isn't it usually something she finds difficult to talk about?
Nowadays, everyone is living a hard life. Poverty and hard work are honorable, and everyone advocates diligence and thrift. For a newlywed woman to be so wasteful is a very shameful act. She has already been reprimanded by everyone. Shouldn't she be ashamed and apologize and make amends?
Why would they go and complain?
All I can say is that Aunt Li lived in the Li family's environment. The Li family had a large population, and the whole family depended on her husband to support them. There were old people and young people, and the relationships were complicated. In the past, when they lived in the village, they would fight over an egg for half a day, and sometimes they would even fight.
In their family, the young wives were indeed in this situation. No one dared to spend money casually, and no one dared to contradict their elders. Being scolded for being wasteful was a very shameful thing to do, and it was normal to quickly bow one's head and apologize with great shame.
Being thrifty and good at managing a household is the highest honor and the ultimate praise for a woman.
Unfortunately, she met Meng Fuyan.
A rich girl who never experienced poverty, pampered and raised with the utmost care by her family, who only taught her how to be a wolf and devour the little lambs around her.
Most girls who grow up with a repressive education lack inner strength. When they grow up and are bullied by those around them, their instinct is to feel guilty and suffer injustice. No one has the courage to fight back, nor do they know how to fight back.
Meng Fuyan is the type who will fight back if anyone bullies her, and might even kick you a few more times. Aunt Li's PUA techniques, which used to work every time, are completely ineffective against her.
He originally planned to bully Meng Fuyan first, then have Xue Hongxiu comfort her, thus becoming good friends with her, and then get close to Gu Tingzhi and gain entry into his household.
However, Meng Fuyan's attitude was very firm, so she temporarily changed to another method: pretending to be weak to create a contrast. No one likes an arrogant little girl; a well-behaved, sensible, thrifty little girl is more likable.
As a result, it all went wrong again!
This time, Aunt Li was completely helpless. Meng Fuyan was different from any other girl she had ever met before. Now, the development of things was beyond the control of someone with her level of experience.
"What...what should we do? Will this affect Old Li? How can you not even handle something this simple?"
After all, it was the Lu family, and her husband's superior. Aunt Li understood that Meng Fuyan's complaint would affect her husband, so she could only vent her anger on her niece.
Xue Hongxiu had already washed up and changed her clothes, but her hair was still wet. Her whole body ached because Meng Fuyan had kicked her several times, and it really hurt!
Moreover, she was held underwater for so long that she truly experienced the feeling of suffocation. The feeling of death was terrifying, and her body still trembles uncontrollably to this day.
Her aunt is still blaming her now.
Xue Hongxiu cried, "I did everything you said. Didn't you say that Meng Fuyan, a spoiled young girl in her early twenties, doesn't know anything and can only be bullied? She's not a spoiled young lady at all, she's a shrew, even more shrewish than the most powerful shrew in our village. I'm in pain all over now."
Aunt Li was furious. "How dare you say that? Don't you know how to be flexible? If she hits you, you just let her hit you? Even if you can't beat her, don't you know how to scream? Howl like a ghost or a wolf, scream like a screaming monster, do you understand? Scream so the whole residential compound can hear you. Can't you speak? Can't you beg for mercy? Do I need to teach you how to play the victim?"
"As long as you cry miserably and scream pitifully, and say some things, everyone will think that Meng Fuyan went too far and that she bullied you. Then she won't have a good time in the family compound from now on. Everyone will hate her, understand?"
Xue Hongxiu pouted. She wanted to, too, but Meng Fuyan was too frightening at the time. She was so stunned that she couldn't think straight. The other party was so talkative that there was no room for her to speak.
